John Carl Parfait

Sadly, on the evening of Thursday October 17, 2019, John Carl Parfait took his final breath and entered heaven to fish until the end of time. 

On October 10, 1949 John was born in Houma, Louisiana to Kirby Paul Parfait and Elsie Verdin Parfait; the second of eight children. 

John is survived by his wife, Katie Berteau Parfait. Their love and devotion spanned over 49 years; they had two daughters and their husbands that John loved as his own sons. He is survived by his oldest daughter, Jessica Williams and husband Andrew; his youngest daughter, Melissa Chauvin and husband Ronnie; and son, Jason Brown.  He is also survived by the grandchildren he adored, Joshua Ryan, Elizabeth Ann, Brennan Mikal and Andrew Michael. He is survived by his siblings, Earl P. Parfait and wife, Cherrel, Virgie M. Foret and husband, Paul, Larry K. Parfait and wife, Gina, Lynn R. Parfait and wife Tina, Sharon M. Foret and husband, Roy Sr., Chris A. Parfait and wife, Ellen, and Terry J. Parfait and wife, Stephanie;

John was a man of strong faith; he believed in God and loved the quiet times he spent reading his bible.  John and Katie’s love for each other was evident to anyone who knew them, he still looked at her as though it was the first time and she adored him with all her heart.  He enjoyed fishing and loved going to the camp with his family.  John never met a stranger and once he knew you, you became a friend for life. 

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of John Parfait.
